I have been married for 40 years and have been a stay at home wife (mom & grandma) for about half of that time. In my opinion, you have discovered your style of home decor . . . you buy what you like and put it where you want to. Don't overthink it or follow trends. Your home is where you and your family feel comfortable and loved. Your home looked beautiful! I think that you are doing great! Many blessings and best wishes to all of you stay at home wives and mamas! 🥰
I will be 50 in April and I am just now becoming a homemaker homesteader I am really enjoying this new journey in my life and although I've started late I enjoy learning different skills thank you for sharing your thoughts on homemaking God bless you 🙏 ❤️
What a beautiful video! Homemaking is definitely a learned skill, one I did not have when I got married at 18. I hope who are young are able to learn sooner than I did. This is a reminder to me to wash my cabinets too.
I've been a homemaker for years and I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing most days 😂 With each kid, routines change and you have to find your own rhythm with each stage. You're doing great!
I fell in love with the homestead life, I learned all the "homestead" things like preserving and growing and cookng from scratch, baking bread etc but it has taken me a long time to find joy in being a homemaker. My house was constantly a mess, so little organisation. I'm now finding the joy slowly, I've started with finding a system that helps me to keep my kitchen clean. Writing the scedule down for the next month where everyone can see it so its not just in my head. Setting up a homeschool routine instead of winging it. Little things that make a big difference.
This video popped up today. You are doing a great job. As a 4-Her, I knew how to cook and sew when I got married. But my mom had many other things she'd rather do than clean house. I didn't really have skills as a homemaker. I was a terrible housekeeper when my kids were young. I so wish that I'd had all of the vlogs to watch, when I was younger!!! You might enjoy My Sunny Days vlog. She's a young homemaker. Keep doing what you're doing.
This is the first video of your channel that I have found and I love that you are talking about the phases of learning for homemaking. I learned on my own and am now 60. I learned how to make all of my own condiments and breads - you name it. My advice, tackle something new each year whether it be pickling, baking, canning ...whatever your interests are. But most of all enjoy the process! And I just want to add that you are already doing better than you think! :)
Hi! So happy to discover your channel today. I am a homemaker and a doula. I have been officially a homemaker for over 12 years, and I am still struggling to do it well. I get very discouraged many days. I am thankful for your encouragement!
You are not alone in the discouragement. But we CAN find balance between being gracious to ourselves and being diligently productive. You got this, WE got this! :)
Yes to homemakers in all stages. I am in my 50s and I am a homemaker through and through but I also work outside the home. Homemakers come in all shapes sizes ages stages. We are all just finding out own way. Keep going ...you're doing great.💕
thank you for this video, I have a 4 month old baby and I paused my studies for a year to be a stay at home mum and, honestly, I love cooking, baking, sewing... but I'm not too good at maintaining a clean, tidy home consistently, especially now that the baby takes up a lot of my time (I have a hard time letting her sleep in her crib during the day, so I end up being na-trapped for a long time). it's good to see that some mums don't have it all perfectly figured out yet, and that things will improve with time.
Enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this! I became a sahm/homemaker unintentionally at the start of Covid which was also when our second baby was born. We then had our third not too long after, on top of some other life things, so it’s been hectic. I feel like I’m *just now* getting out of survival mode and able to look around and make progress in my homemaking goals. I would love to learn to bake bread, canning, knitting etc, but like you say, it feels like a huge mental hurdle to add that when I’m still *just* getting a handle on things like laundry and having dinner ready on time. Anyway, just thought I’d leave a comment to say that I’m here with you in the beginning stages 😊🩵
Im switching my major to family & consumer science (i didnt even know it was available as a major!) and i know its basically just an extension of high school home economics but that is my interest and its so practical and its a passion of mine, i dont care for climbing the corporate ladder ive pearned that self sufficiency is one thing that should be valued and its a dream of mine to have an off grid homestead, idk how it will happen but im gonna make it happen!
I definitely can relate to how you’re feeling! I’ve been married for 8 years, but had a high demand job so I never really learned how to be a “homemaker.” I was just in survival mode and did what I could to make it to the next day. My daughter is starting school now so i quit my job due to schedule conflicts. Ive been learning for the last year or so, it really brings me joy. But none of it came naturally to me, my mom worked too and never cooked or anything like that. I’m proud of the next generation, we are beginning to see the value in things like home cooked meals, gardening, preserving, etc. again.
There is a grain mill still in the box waiting for me to watch videos, decide where to buy the grain, what kind to buy, and start sprouting….😂😂 Sleepy just thinking about it! Mostly because I don’t know WHERE to start! I’m not really a new homemaker but fancy breads are new to me. I too feel like I’m just getting back to being able to keep my home tidy, and my baby is 2.5 😆🤪 You should check out Mary’s Kitchen. She makes traditional foods and is like an encyclopedia!
When home with children in order to not get frustrated by the constant repetitive nature of homemaking would try to do something creative each day. For me it was crafts, gardening, baking. I tried to think of them as outside of realm of everyday chores.
This is a great tip and something I've found to help as well as a very novice homemaker! I have to do something creative every day... even if I get 5-10 minutes it just keeps me so inspired!
Good video but an advice please don't waste that much water close the tap between rinsing dishes. That's liters of good water that are wasted. Just an advice
@@APeacefulPursuit not wanted to be agressive at all! I am a French woman and I love watching American videos! In a French point of view, it is shocking to see an open tap like this but you are more used to see that lol! Hope you success for your channel! A Muslim girl from Paris ☺️😉

Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing ❤ we are learning together!
I’ve been rewatching all your homemaking videos. I enjoy them and can relate so much. Hope you and your family are well.
Aw thank you so much! 🩷
Very encouraging, thanks!
I am so glad! Thank you 🧡
You can start with freezer jam and get the consistency right, that helps a lot with water bath canning!! 😊😊
